REFERENCE:
NRC Letter Milhoan to Crawford, March 19, 1993
Dear Mr. Milhoan:
In accordance with your request in the above referenced letter, please find enclosed a package of information containing various documents pertaining to the investigation of charges made by the complainant and circumstances surrounding the release of the Complainant from the Fort Saint Vrain work force. The Department of Labor findings were keyed primarily on the issue that we released the complainant after we learned of complaints to our Quality Assurance Department and the Health Physics Supervisor. Our preparation for litigation was therefore focused in this area. The referenced letter raises another issue concerning the Complainant's alleged complaints to Public Service Company of Colorado management about the performance of a radiation technician with respect. to safe radiation safety practices. Given this situation, we have also included some documentation in the enclosed package that addresses events which involved both the complainant and the radiation technician. The contents of the document package are summarized on the cover sheet of the attachment. With the time that has passed since the Office of Inspection investigation and the situation described above concerning the alleged employee conflict, we had sope difficulty identify h the specific documentation refnranced_ inE_, J1Lne 1_0, 1992 1 p+- t er +'o h In this respect we have included a variety of documents from our plant files as well us__the files of our attor m ' $.3 ' /d '$ $ 9412000062 931202 g PDR FOIA / O'MALLE93-600 PDR

These elements had radiation levels as high as 930 R/hr. and the sample radiation levels were unkncvn. You allowed Mr. Halvorson, a Maintenance Mechanic, to sater the H5F uncer RWP #11377 prior to any survey being taken, even though the cor.ditions in the H5F could reasonably have changed since the w last survey. Because no survey was taken, a proper evaluation of protective and monitoring equipment such as respiratory protection equipment, extremity dosimetry, stay times, etc., could not be performed. r O a This resulted in an individual going into a potentially artremely L high radiation area. Also, when the samples were brought out of the H5F into the access ares, an uncontrolled 10 mR/hr. radiation area i was left for approximately nine hours without proper posting to control access. Your actions violated requirements of HpP-115, HPP-125, NpAP 10, and NPM-29. I ciscusseo the events with you curing a counselling session on t L September 21, 1990, and at that time you recognized the seriousness i of your actions when you asked me if you were going to be terminated. You did say that you accepted responsibility for your actions and were not thinting straight. r You recognized that this event was a very serious lack of control necessary to protect the health and safety of personnel and i-c;uld have easily resulted in an over exposure. plant One of the basic and l' primary responsibilities of the Health Physics staff is to protect the health and safety of the public anc plant personnel, Based on the seriousness of this matter, you are being suspended, o without pay, for a period of two weets. The suspension dates are October 4, 1990, through October 17, 1990. D -,ci m

) l Novemb,er 16, 1990 Mr. Charles Fuller Manager Nuclear Production Public Service Company ~of Colorado Dear Mr. Fuller h I feel it incumbent upon me to formally inform you of the situation in the Health Physics Department which I belive + needs the full attention of you and your management team immediately. I'm sure that you are some what aware of the present situation in the Health Physics Department between' Ms. Marna Porter and other members within her department. In the past week Ms. Porter has been.the subject of malicious i acts directed towards her, the destruction of her safty . equipment, the spreading of trash within her work area, and a i number of her H.P. records which have turned up missing. The records in question were her daily log entrees dated October ~ 18th through october 27th and November 2,-1990. Along with the above mentioned missing documents, her daily surveys records from October 27th through November 2nd are also missing. Nore recently and most concerning to her-and I, was - 1 i the flatting of her right rear tire in the parking lot on November 13th. I believe that these actions are totally out of place at this site or any work location. These acts place Ms. Porter in a very uncomfortable working environment. The fact that these incident have oedurred within the same short period of time can almost discount coincidence. I would request at this time you and your management team do everything within your power to put a halt to these acts. We as an organization can not put up with this kind of conduct. Thank you for your cooperation very r p gours g ]

- Monday, 11/12/90 Received a call from Mark Quintana at home at about 2145 hours.
i Mark said that he-had just gotten off of the phone with John O'Donoghue at the plant. John was very upset because Marna Porter's logs for the period from 10/22/90 to 11/2/90 were missing. John was suspicious that the missing logs might have something to do-with Marna's ' discipline - subject. i Mark asked me if I knew anything about it. I told him that I didn't have the slightest idea. I also told him that it didn't make much sense that it was associated with the discipline subject. since that subject was all over with long before 10/22/90. Mark agreed. I told Mark that I would call Ted Borst to see if he knew anything about it. Mark appreciated that and said that he would call John back at the plant and tell him that I didn't know anything about it. 1 I called Ted after Mark and I finished. Ted did not know anything about it either. He agreed that it didn't make much sense that it i would be associated with the discipline issue. Ted said thst he would. follow-up on it in the morning. Tuesday. 11/13/90 Ted had come in early to discuss the missing logs _ issue with Bill Woodard and Tim Schleiger. Ted then had to go down town. At about 0745. I paged Tim and asked him to come to my office to discuss the issue. Tim told me that John had been doing his routine activities, one of-which is collecting the logs for transmittal to Record Storage. It was at that time that John noted that Marna's logs (and only Marna's logsi were missing. Tim told me that he and Bill had had a staff meeting with the HP j Techs this morning. and told them in no uncertain terms that they were concerned with the loss of the logs. One implication is that records of surveys are lost and that could have serious repercussions to the plant. 9 i w e --- w u---,-
Tim also told me that he was made aware this morning that Marna's hard hat had been broken about a week ago, and this was the first he had heard about it. Marna had apparently told Bill about it at the time. Bill had logged it, but noted,that it was one event. However. Marna has now also had trash thrown under her desk. Putting all those together seems to indicate that there could be someone out there that is trying L make Marna look bad. Tim and Bill discussed this with the staff and told them that they needed to be on the lookout for any unusual activity. They also told them that sueb. behavior would not be tolerated. Finally, according to what Tim relayed on to me. Bill made it very clear that he wanted the staff to make him immediately aware of any unusual activities involving Marna. Wednesday. November 14. 1990 At about 0715. discussed yesterday's information with Ted Borst. Ted confirmed that the logs for the cited dates were missing and not yet found. Ted also mentioned that the daily survey forints) were { missing. Ted is sure that the logs and surveys were completed 1 because they are reviewed on a daily basis. If they had not been done. it would have been noted by the reviewer. Ted and Bill discussed the action to take for the missing logs. Bill will generate a memo stating that the information was obtained and reviewed. and that there were no unusual readings /results. Bill will then have the involved HP techs sign the memo. Hopefully, this will provide sufficient documentation to satisfy the Tech Spec requirements. Ted 'also informed me that Marna had a flat tire yesterday on the way home from work. According to the rumor mill. it is possible that , there was part of a pair of scissors in the tire. As a result of this. Ted. Tim. and Bill looked around the parking lot this am to see if they could find the rest of the scissors. At this time. we do not have first hand information. Apparently Marty Stoecklein. Maintenance Supenisor. helped Marna change the tire. Ted will discuss the problem with Marty as soon as they can get together. probably this morning. Ted will call the NRC (Bairds to let them know about the missing logs.
l Ted and I discussed the possibility of bringing in an investigator to l evaluate the situation. We concluded that this may be desirable if we start to get more definitive information. l With respect to the Second Step Grievance. Bruce alleged that " Arbitration Law" and "Due Process" were violated because Ted sat on the Company Committee. Called Labor Relations to identify the Company. position on this. On several occasions in the past this has happened and no protest from the Union was presented. Walt Wagner returned my call with respect to the above paragraph. Walt stated that in no uncertain terms does the Union have the right to dictate who is on the Company Committee. This is in accordance with the contract which only requires the " appropriate division manager and two of his associates." Walt believes that this point could have been made at second step. However one or two sentences in the response letter should be made -to ensure that the company intends to enforce our rights under the contract. Thursd ay.. 11/15/90 Talked to Ted at about 0645 about Marna's flat tire. Marty Stoecklein helped Marna in the parking lot. When Marna brought the tire in to be fixed. a three to four inch piece of scissors was found in the tread. There is no evidence either way that this was or was not a deliberate act. Ted also brought Mark Q. up to speed on the event. Mark indicated that he believes management is taking the appropriate actions. Ted also discussed the possibility of the investigator with Mark. At this time Mark advises that we do not bring in an investigator until after the grievance is resolved. There could be a perception that the investigator was trying to find out more to support the grievance , rather than investigating the recent events with Marna. Mark's advice will be considered. Discussed the possibility with Ted oi conducting interviews with the HP staff (and possibly others to see if we can determine any more information. We will pursue this and probably do the interviews personally. Ted will get back with Bill to determine who will be available on Monday and Wednesday of next week. Friday. I1/16/90
Received a letter from Mark Quintana expressing his concern with the situation in HP. I agree with the concerns expressed in the memo. and agree that such actions. if deliberate. are totally out of place in the work place. Ted and I will be conducting the interviews mentioned above on Monday.
- Monday, 11/19/00 Ted discussed the interview schedul:.
First one will be at about 1000 hours. At about 0715. Bill showed rr the piece of scissors that had punctured her tire. The broker, end looks like it has had some wear on it, indicating that she had possibly driven some small distance with it in the tire. Marna had given the piece to Bill. It looks more like the insertion of the piece of scissors did not occur in the parking lot. Perhaps this isn't something to indicate harassment after all. Hopefully, the interviews can shed some light on this.

At y'our request, and in preparation for litigation. I have prepared the following chronological information regarding the situation with Mr. George McTiernan. Monday, February 18, 1991 On this day at 0745 hours, I met with members of my staff to discuss the subject of reducing our staff size. In attendence were Ms. Kitzman, Messrs. Reigel, Deniston, McCauley, Born, and myself. This was brought about by the fact that shipping to Idaho had been postponed from beginning the week before. As a result of this postponement, Executive Management (i.e.. Mr. A. Clegg Crawford) had directed that we review our 1991 staffing plan. These instructione /::: given at the ELT meeting of 2/12/91. Mr. Crawford directed aat we review the staffing plan with respect to two scenarios. The first scenario was to assume that we received permission to ship in the near future Specifically, it was to be assumed t. at the shipping campaign would begin April 2,1991. The second scew;io was to assume that we did not receive permission to ship to Idaho. Instead, we were to staff in accordance with completion of the ISFSI. and begin defueling to the ISFSI on 12/1/91. Mr. Crawford indicated that his strong inclination was that he would recommend to Mr. Hock that we pursue Scenario #2, and we should concentrate our efforts on that plan. The results of these reviews were to be finalized and submitted to the Program Office no later than 3/10/91 (effectively 3/8/91 because 3/10/91 was Sunday). I had prepared a handout for discussion with the staff (Exhibit 1). In particular, I asked them to fill out the Scenario 2 destaffing table, or equivalent. We discussed the work activities that needed to be done, so that everyone would have a common understanding of resource requirements (Exhibit 2). I then directed the staff to have the staffing information put together by Friday, February 22,1991, for a meeting at 10:00 am. This date is distinctive for several reasons: 1. A staff meeting had already been set up for that date. 2. On February 18, 1991, I apologized for the short response time to my staff, but the week of Febmary 25, 1991, was out of the question because my schedule was packed solid, and the
i-2- ' following week was too late to resolve problems if they should develop. 3. Mr. McCauley's staffing results (Exhibit 3, last page), shows his actual staffing on February 22, 1991. Friday, February 22, 1991 I' met with my staff at 10:00 am in my conference room to discuss the results of their reivew. All of the staff had come prepared with the results. Ms. Kitzman took notes so that she could update our staff size data base and provide me with information to use for tiansmittal to the Program Office. We reviewed each of the results provided by the management staff. In particular, note Mr. Borst's results that states that he planned on releasing four contre.ct personnel "now", with the caveat that he was assuming that we ot.!d be staffing fuel deck related work on a one shift / day basis. Single shift coverage had not yet been decided. Ms. Kitzman summarized the information and provided a typed 3 version from her notes (Exhibit 5). Ms. Kitzman's summary substantiates the meeting results. -

Dear Department Personnel,
Following is a written complaint to your office, submitted within thirty days of the violation, regarding an illegal termination of employment effected against me by the Public Service Company at the Fort S t. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station. I claim that the termination was illegal because it was directly related to my having answered questions by the site QA inspector one week previously. Additionally, a " layoff with two week notice" was changed to an immediate dismissal after I had indicated a desire to talk to the resident NRC inspector and pursue legal recourse against the layoff. I believe that represents a violation of to CFR 19. I am a contract Health Physics Technician. I had been at Ft. S t. Vrain for 17 months. The actual company I work for is Allied Radiological, out of Georgia. (1-800-241-6575) None of my complaint is directed toward ARC. They had no involvement in this violation. I was terminated from Ft. S t. Vrain for reporting numerous radiological safety violations and poor work practices of one particular technician. Initial reports to the Health Physics Supervisor were ig?
- red. At one point in my job, I was approached by one of iae PSco QA inspectors. I did not seek out this Inspector, rather he was monitoring the task at hand and as'ted questions regarding my performance.
The Technician I had been reporting, Marna E. Porter, had worked the midnight shift. In that capacity, she was responsible for performing the daily radiological survey in the reactor building, and cisc prepara our counting instrumentation for the next day's use.
Page a. wo had only. two counting instrumsnts available, an " automatic" counter and ~ a counter that - samples need to be loaded into one at a time. Each sample takes one minute to coun t.' When Ms. Porter performed her rounds, she found that the automatic changer had been cross-contaminated during that day's work and needed to be wiped down prior to use. This takes' about 20 or 30 minutes to perform. Ms. Porter did not do this. Additionally, she didn't use the manual counter to analyze the samples from her survey, but rather left them for dayshift to ' perform. On dayshif t. I-had my own responsibilities; Checking work areas radiological 17 prior to maintenance in them, performing contamination analysis of tools and equipment leaving the-protected area, and providing HP_ coverage while different covers were removed. from the core area for-inspections. All of my _ duties required the use of the instruments I described earlier. The automatic changer was not available, until a specifically assigned crew had "deconned" it and counted the two hours worth of samples Ms. Porter had left behind. The manual changer. was only sporadically available, j since it was being shared by every technician doing coverage that day. A QA Inspector noticed my difficulty and asked questions regarding them. Thursday, the 14th of March is the date that this was discussed with QA. One week later, on the 21st of Warch. I was laid off with a two week notice, and the next morning I was terminated. That morning, I did interview with Mr. J.B. Baird, the resident NRC inspector. (756-2281) The PSCo supervisor that directly supervised me and effected the termination was ' Mr. Bill Woodard. (620-1130) The QA inspector I had worked with is Mr. Paul Miles. (620-1550) I want to add that just two weeks earlier I had been ensured that there would be no man-power based layoffs before August, and when I was laid off it was over two unqualified persons with less then two months on site. I had been there 17 months and had qualified as " Shift Technician." The violation that I reported to GA was not a major safety concern. However. Ms. Marna K. Porter has such a history of poor performance, including the falsification of records and knowingly violating procedures, that supervision's reluctance to in any way enforce accountability for this individual results in an unsafe working environment. i- .--s--
== e senr- +-
~.. ragt n. .- f p. /- Following cro oramples. of th0 prob 10ms that exist. Dates are approximate when neccessary,.as my access to records has been removed. ~ In closin's I will include a list of personnel that can verify and substantiate the listed occurrences. August, '90 Ms. Porter caused a potential for overexposure, and created a radiation area that went undetected for two shifts. ' The cause. was from improper job briefings, improper surveys, (She had given the radiation dose rate meter to an unquallfled worker, and told him to monitor himself. The task called for continuous, on-the-spot coverage.)(Maintenance worker John Halverson, 620-1266) Ms. Porter was not to be disciplined for +his, until an exiting employee informed the NRC of the occurrence. The NRC came back with five " Notices of Violation" against PSco. No civil penalty was assessed. Marna Porter received one week off, no pay. (Summer '89 Ms. Porter was given one week off for falsifying documents. She claimed to perform nightly surveys, yet no record of "k e y-ca rd" entries into the controlled area existed.) February, 91 - Harna Porter was to perform the monthly survey of the FSV site. This Job is cycled among techs each month. Several days into the month. I was working a midnight shift. One duty included the writing and updating of Radiation Work i s Permits. I was looking for an older package, that should have been processed and filed by Ms. Porter. Not finding it in the proper location. I looked on her desk. i I found the wipe samples from the monthly survey on Ms. Porter's desk. A policy adopted shortly before by the department restricted bringing wipes, samples and other contaminated materials into the lunch room. It is against sound radiological prac t. ices to, bring radioactive materials into the food area. A safety issue trists, but the level is low. The next morning, I informed Bill Voodard Health Physics Supervisor, of finding the wipes. I had removed the wipes from the lunch area, and analyzed them. I told Mr. Woodard of the results. (Counting the wipes indicated that they weren't con t a mina ted) 4 + w l
= - Page 4. Mr. Woodard indicated that bo wsu14 not be spe: Ring to M. Porter regarding bringing wipes into the lunch room. He assigned me to write M. Porter a note indicating that I l had counted +.he wipes for her. A hand written note was generated. The original was in the possession of 3.Woodard - but has disappeared. The-note read, Marna. I found wipes on your desk. Wipes are not allowed in the lunch room, as per the night orders - of -(Date), which you initialed. I counted your wipes, and all read <MDA. I would have recorded the information on your survey sheets, but you have all your wipes taken without having logged any locations on your map. I've never seen a survey done this wa y, but I guess that's your buisness. Well, <MDA, that's what I wanted to tell you. George M. Porter claimed that I had harassed her. I. was counselled. Within one week, a different H.P.. Technician, Mr. George Tillman, found air samples on M. Porter's desk. Air samples have a higher potential for being contaminated then do routine wipe samples. Mr. Tillman approaches M. Porter about the air samples on her desk. They remained there two additional days. On the third day, the air samples disappeared. These samples require a three-part process; initial paperwork done by the technician, a request form filled out in the Radiochemistry la b, and subsequent analysis by the lab. This was not performed on any of the air samples that M. Porter brought i into the lunch room. The contamination levels on - those air i samples are not known. The airborne contamination levels for the work that the samples were drawn for are not known. 1 March, 91 Continuing with the monthly survey Three weeks after the survey is due, D. Blain (620-1779), acting in a su pervisory role, and R. Rankin, (620-1127) _j performing a monthly task of records collection and storage, find the survey in M.Por ter's desk. This was on 3/19/91. The top two. pages - of the survey were incomplete, and the remainder were blank. Copies were made. M. Porter has claimed that this work was completed, and someone has stolen her work. 4
. Pcga 5. (SOverc1. acnths age, M.Portcr Uca occigncd, \\ thru written night orders, repeatedly and specifically to check certain equipment for contamination and release it from the Refuel
- Floor controlled area. M. Porter refused to do this work, and at the end of the week all the night orders and all of M.Portsr's written loss and have been reconstructed for proper recordsurveys disappeared. The surveys keeping.)
.In closing, I maintain that I was fired for complaints against an unsafe co.-worker. I had just been told that I would not be laid off. for manpower reasons until. August at the earliest. My performance is. above average. I had recently received a commendation hand-signed by Marty Denisson Ted Borst. - Tim Sch11eger, and Bill Woodard for work I had done-for them. After talking to GA, I was fired within a week, ' ahead of two Junior personnel. The following personnel can provide verification: M r.

Interoffice Memo @ Massendeecompegetcaknade Public Service-PPC-91-0519 DATE: April 18, 1991 TO: All Nuclear Operations Personrel FROM: A. C. Crawford, Vice President, Nuclear Operations ATTN: J. B. Baird, NRC Senior Resident Inspector SUBJ: CONCERN RAISED DURING ALL-EMPLOYEE MEETING ( At one of my recent all-employee meetings, a concern was raised regarding the ability to identify safety concerns to QA or the NRC without fear of reprisal from management. I want to make my position crystal clear in this regard. Every employee has the right and responsibility to raise safety concerns when fdentified. This is no different than the responsibility each employee has to stop work if it is not being performed safely or in accordance with regulatory or procedural requirements. Concerns should normally be first raised to your management for resolution prior to taking them outside of your organization. But if this is not possible or has not met with success, do not hesitate to take your issue to QA or the NRC. Federal law prohibits management from discharging or otherwise discriminating against any employee as a result of raising safety concerns to QA or the NRC. I hope this allays any concerns you may have with respect to reporting safety issues. A. C. Crawf6f d l Vice President, Nuclear Operations ACC:FJB:djm 3 \\ l 1om.i.n..

TELEPHONE Ed reported about a meeting which he believes occurred 3/6 according to notas on his calendar. Ed, George McTiernan, Bill Woodard, Marna Porter and John O'Donahugue s (union steward representing Marna) all met together. Meeting was a follovup on George' temo on 2/10 (approx) to Marna criticizing her work. (Bill had directed George to vrite the meno.) Now Marna demanded apology from George for harsh tone of the memo. George apologized at the meeting but Marna vasn't satisfied. She complained to Bill that all H.P. technicians were against her. Ed questioned whether she was complaining specifically about George or all H.P. techs; Marna replied it was all of them, espec-ially contract (ARC) techs. She said she didn 't vant anymore criticism from covorkers. j Bill indicated he vill handle the problem. Ed and George vere dismissed from meeting. Stroud reports that Marna is always in conflict with other employees. Her person-ality is hard to interact with and she is incompetent. When I indicated to Ed that Marna may have made some type of claim of sex discrimination or harrassment against George Ed responed "basaless and ridiculous". In his position as ARC sita repre-seatstive at Fort St. Vrain Ed acts as liason and intermediary between PSCo and ARC and of ten is present at meetings between workers and supervisors. At no time until 1 mentioned sex harrassment did Ed every hear anything like this. Ed believes it's
adst unlikaly such serious charges would be made against an ABC worker without him knowing about it. Another common procedure if there is problem between PSco and ARC is for the fdruer to contact Robert Grant, personnel manager in ARC main office in Georgia, if it involves employees. Ed checked with Grant and learned PUBSco had not contacted him regarding George or any sex charge. I asked Stroud vbether he requests confidentiality for all the information he siawwwi . w a. - vne furnished in the 2 statements.

Borst, Nuclear Training and Support Manager, F$y ATTN: Messes. A. C. Crawford and C. W. Fuller SUBJ: PREPARATION FOR LITIGATION 4 The following Tnfirmation"'ha s " Teen prepared periour request in ~ 4 anticipatton of litigation. We are,also seektog..your legal advice in this matter. Late in 1990, we brought four (4) cohtric~t' Health' Physics Technicfans to Fort St; Vrain through our contractor, ARC, in order to support n fuel shipping, which was scheduled to begin in February of 1991. ~ i. Shortly af ter February 1,1991, it became obvious that o we were not golag to ship, so we began to prepare to downstre four (4) contract Health Physics Technictans. Initially it was thought that we would staply release the four (4)newestTechatcfans,whichwouldleave o Mr. McTiernan on site. However, through February and early March, n m several things happened which led me to decide to release Mr. McTiernan and keep, instead, Mr. Keith Bare, one of the new a d contract Health Physics Technicians. These included the following: I was getting indication from Mr. Bill Woodard, Health Physics Supervi sor, that Mr. McTiernan's attitude and i morale had been decifning since the first of the year, because he was unhappy that the new Technicians were making i the same salary that he was, and that we were treating .a contractors dif fe rently in terms of eligibility for evertime. I was able to confirri Mr. McTiernan's change in o attttude through personal observation. I was becoteing more and more impressed with Mr. Keith Bare, m both technically and interpersonally. I felt that his response to the contamination event in the Hot Service Factitty was noteworthy. When asked, the PSC Health u Phystes Technicians were unanimous that Keith should be .1 kept. W On March 6,
- 1991, Mr. John O'Donoghue, the Health Physics Union 5towand, and Ms. Marna Porter, one of our PSC Healta Phystes
+ Technicians, requested a meeting with Bill Woodard and me. At that meeting, Marna empressed her concern wf th the treatment that she was ei receiving from Mr. McTiernan, and stated that she felt that it a L constituted sexual harassment. Mr. O'Donoghue supported her concerns. Management was requested to review the situation and take appropriate action. ] i
Interoffice Memo h PublicServkMr ecc-91-o m edesanneas t.,2;eerw, 2 H91 j J On March 4,1991, Mr. Woodard and I met with Mr. McTiernan to discuss, concerns relative to his interpersoaal skills. Mr. McTiernan dented o that he had a probles, while acknowledging that he was sarcastic. He a indicated that he felt that his comunications style was appropriate, and indicated that he was not willing to change. Immediately following this meeting, I made the decision that Mr. McTlernan would i i be the fourth and final contract Health Phystes Technician to be released due to the fact that we were not shipping f: el. I discussed i 4 this decision with Mr. Chuck fuller on March 8, 1991, and he a concurred. This was six (6) days prior to the discussion that George had with Mr. Paul Miles, a Quality Assurance Inspector, and thirteen -1 i (13) days prior to Mr. McTiernan being informed that he would be released. i It should be noted that Mr. Woodard continued to champion keeping i Mr. McTiernan based on his technical cospetence, and the decision to release Mr. McTiernan was made by se based on siy perceived til fit of a 4 George into the Health Phystes Unit from a team building aspect. One of the stated goals for the Health Physics organization is to have an i a excellent Radiation Protection Progras durtag the Defueling and Decommissioning of Fort St. Vrain. To have such a program requires a cohesive and cooperative group. Mr. McTiernan did not fulfill these i a requirements. I On March 21, 1991, Mr. McTiernan was informed that he was being 4 released, and he became very upset. He demanded that he be allowed a to leave the site immediately, and after conferring with Mr. Don Alps, Security Supervisor, Mr. Woodard decided to let him go for the i 4 day and pull his unescorted access to the protected a rea. d Mr. Woodard called me and informed me of these events at 4 approximately 1:30 pe. I concurred with Mr. Woodard's decision, and 1 mediately called Mr. Fuller to discuss the events of the day, along J with my thought that we consider releasing Mr. McTlarnan4n March 22, a 4 1991, rather than allowing him to stay for several more weeks. s Mr. Fuller concurred with the decision of Mr. Woodard, and agreed i that we should discuss Mr. McTiernan's release date the next day, March 22, 1991. 4 Later on March 21, 1991, after leaving the site, Mr. McTiernan called 8 Mr. Woodard, requested his home phone number, and indicated that he I should be expecting some telephone calls at home that night. When Mr. Voodard informed me of thf s at approximately 4:30 pe on March 21, a a 1991, my interpretation was that Mr. McTiernan was thrntening a Mr. Woodard with harassment or physical harm.

..m Insert interview with Miles Insert comment from Miles that he had heard that we were going to 5e forced to bring George back Insert comment that Miles stated he had been interviewed but that - he didn't know if he had done any good. My comment to tell it like it is 4/26/91 s Walked into Ted's office this pm while he was having a phone conversation with Mary Will. Mary stated that she was under the-understanding that the decision on George was going to go-against us. I asked on what basis and she said that she-wasn't positive, but that it looked like it would be on the fact that the Labor rep. thought' that t there was some basis' to George's assertion that the reason he was let go was because he had talked to QA about a safety issue. This surprised me since George's discussion with QA was not a safety issue at all. 3 I asked Mary what our options were and she stated that we could either pay George the une week's salary that he had lost (between jobs) or that we could go to hearing. I asked what " going to hearing" meant, and she said that is where we could present our case. Obviously, going to hearing -would involve a great deal more expense ' to PSC than one week's salary, but Mary stated that it was really a management decision on what we wanted to pursue. The conversation ended with Mary telling us that she would keep us posted. Apparently the Labor rep still had to get his recommendation through his boss before anything formal came back to PSC. Mary thought that we could be expecting something soon, probably on Monday. 4/29/91 At about 3:40 pm received a call from Frank Novachek. Frank had apparently received an inquiry from the Rocky Mountain News (presumably via Media Relations or Labor Relations) regarding the dismissal of George McTiernan. Frank was unaware of the subject. I filled Frank in on what had gone on from my perspective. I indicated to Frank that I was astounded about the allegation since it
had no merit. Frank specifically wanted to know if we had received anything from the Dept. of Labor regarding the decision from them, I told him I did not know, and that I personally had not received anything. We also discussed the fact that I had been in Ted's office last Friday (4/26/91) when Mary Will; had relayed on her understanding of what the Labor Dept investigator's opinion was (see above). From home, I called Ted Borst to see if he had heard of any formal decision. He said that he had not, but he had been assured by Sally O'Malley and Mary Will that they would let him know as soon as they had gotten anything official. During the course of this conversation. Ted asked me if I recalled that he and I had discussed the release of George McTiernan hs.fne the incident with QA, so it didn't make any sense that George could assert that that was the reason he was let go. I told Ted that I would have to check my notes. but that is also exactly how I remembered it. I also asked Ted if he felt there was any way he or I could be on the " garden path'. He said he didn't think so--everything was on on the up and up. We discussed the fact that Bill Woodard was very supportive of George with respect to not letting him go because of George's technical skill. Again, neither Ted, nor Bill, nor I had any heartburn with George's technical skill. In fact from a technica'. perspective, Bill was in favor of letting Keith Bear (?) go and keeping George. Ted and I had discussed that earlier (again before the QA incident) and concluded that equally important to the technical issue was the teamwork issue. George had a reputation of not being a team player within HP and elsewhere, and this is exactly what the major issue was in HP, both from our prospective and the NRC. Ted and my objective was to develop a better team in HP I also asked Ted about Mary Will's passing comment on the Friday conversation about sexual discrimination with regard to her belief that Marna had said that during her interview. Ted stated that on March 6,1991, during Ted's interview with Marna (John O was present) Marna had said that she felt that George was discriminating against her just because she was a woman in HP. This is different than Marna's statements to me previously, (back in November, 1990) in which she stated that she wasn't sure what was meant by sexual discrimination, but she didn't think so. Ted and I both remember that during those interviews. Marna didn't zeally want to point the finger at anybody (regarding the possible harassment she was
. =.. 1 getting--see the.Marna Porter files but that she was suspicious of one person. I had to press Marna to say who that was, but she. eventually indicated that her - feelings were directed-at George McTiernan. i t 4 2 L l 1 1 ..}}
